       Republican Rep. Liz Cheney says her party is still divided on whether it is the party of former President Donald Trump or not.

       Cheney, a representative from Wyoming, said in an interview that will air Sunday that there "is absolutely a cult of personality around Donald Trump" in her party, CBS News reported.

       "We have too many people now in the Republican Party who are not taking their responsibilities seriously, and who have pledged their allegiance and loyalty to Donald Trump," she said in the interview, according to an excerpt.

       "I mean, it is fundamentally antithetical, it is contrary to everything conservatives believe, to embrace a personality cult. And yet, that is what so many in my party are doing today," she added.

       The former president’s claims have been echoed throughout numerous campaign rallies he has held for congressional candidates this year.

       If the midterm election results in Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Texas are any indicator, then Trump is still in the driver’s seat of the Republican Party as his endorsed candidates mostly won their races.

       However, the president’s winning streak suffered some setbacks in Georgia.
